Festival Crafter Application

Applications are now open for craft vendor space at our outdoor Burnside Plantation events for 2025!

We offer the opportunity to participate in both events for a discounted rate, noted below. The committee seeks participants offering unique and high-quality products, and we limit the number of vendors selling similar items. Acceptance is on a first come, first serve basis. We are particularly interested in vendors selling historically based items, with a preference and potential discounts if you are willing to demonstrate your craft at the event.
